Randal is an excellent Master Plumber. He knows what he is doing, explains things patiently, and when on the phone or at your home, is respectful. But a great plumber is only good if you can get a response from them. I've been dealing with him for several years now. Consistently I've had to message repeatedly, call repeatedly. On occasion - as the first time I contacted him probably in 2023 - he answers the phone himself, and provides info on what he thinks the problem is. And he does phenomenal work. After a few years of being a good customer, patient, paying on time, never objecting to pricing, I **STILL** cannot get a response from him. One issue is that he's a one man show. It's him, or no one. His wife is lovely and accompanies him at times. Very knowledgeable herself. About 4 weeks ago I initiated contact and he responded immediately via text. Great, I thought. Then nothing. After a few more messages checking in, he said there was a family medical situation. I gave him space, and here we are two weeks and yet another text message to him later, and nothing. Nada. And still a leaking well tank. C'mon. Do better. We are done, hope you sort yourself out with other customers - I've seen several other people have had the same experience. read more

Calling Jefferson plumbing was a total waste of time. They don't communicate well and delayed my repairs and then ignored. Not sure how they can operate like this as I heard a similar story from a friend who tried using them in the past. read more

We were notified by the water company that we had a leak in our water supply between our house and the water main. It seemed like we were facing a complicated repair that would require extensive trenching and going through walls as well as a concrete floor. Randall from Jefferson Plumbing offered a trenchless replacement option that worked like a miracle. He installed a new line where the existing pipe had been with minimal disruption inside our house and outside by the meter. He was a consummate professional, explaining all our options as well as how his trenchless process worked from start to finish. He did the work quickly - basically in a day and a half. I would offer him my highest recommendation for service and value. read more

Pros: I reached out to multiple plumbers and Randal was the quickest to respond. Cons: Unfortunately, it went downhill after that. He was not responsive after our initial interaction. It took hours for him to respond to my texts about appointment details. He did partially schedule a service appointment for me for a specific day of the week, but never told me what time or time frame he was coming and never asked for my address. Giving the benefit of the doubt and busy schedules, I called and left a voicemail at 7:30a this morning to discuss details, arrival time and to provide my address prior to my "appointment" tomorrow. It is now 5:20p and I have not heard from him. He did not do any work for me. I was looking forward to working with him as he had previous good reviews. read more

I reached out to Jefferson Plumbing through Yelp. Randal responded right away. I asked him about installing a soda ash system where I live. He responded with irrelevant information about water pH, so I repeated my request. "Can you install a soda ash system where I live?" He said, "Our water consultations are $129 and that covers an onsite visit as well as water testing." So, we set up a date and time and he was here right on time. When he got here, he asked to look at my water. I said, "Why?" He said, "To do the water quality testing." I said, "If that is why you are here, we have totally wasted each other's time because I am not interested in a water quality test. I am interested in having my soda ash system installed." He said, "Okay, let's take a look." So, he went downstairs and spent about half an hour looking at the parts to the system, my pipes, and talking in plumber-ese. He told me my system was inadequate but if that's what I wanted, he could install it for $2300 or I could go with his recommendation for $4,200. He said he couldn't install the system that day because it would take half a day and he hadn't planned for that. I was so Pi**ed off that I decided to just do it myself. So, after he left, I watched an 11 minute Youtube video on how to put together the pump and completed that part in 30 minutes. Then I watched a 6 minute video on how to tie it into the plumbing system. I had to go to Lowes for the sharkbite coupling, but that took another 20 minutes. Long story short, the communication was really bad. I felt like I was being mansplained to the whole time as a tactic to make me think I was in over my head. He didn't respond to my questions. He tried to take control of the conversation and lead it where he wanted it to go. If he was sincere about service, he really could have just installed the soda ash system in the 30 minutes that he was there instead of standing around looking at my pipes. If I, a complete novice, could do that in 50 minutes, a professional could have had it done in half the time easily. And if he couldn't, then he's not a professional. And by the way, the system that I have works just fine. read more

Randal was prompt and very knowledgeable. He fixed my drain quickly and was upfront about the cost.

I had a water main burst on a Monday and Randal had it fixed less than a week later, which cheaper rates than three other companies and plumbers. Randal was responsive, very honest and went out of his way to make sure the water main was installed correctly, even offering a ten year guarantee. I am a realtor and will continue to both utilize and recommend Randal's services! read more

My issue was diagnosed and resolved (at least temporarily) through the insight and generosity of the owner Randall . He very patiently talked me through the problem and we concluded an emergency visit would be of little benefit . This sort of customer service has not only won him a loyal customer but also reassured me that there are honorable people out there trying to do right by people. I am grateful to Jefferson plumbing and endorse them fully . Thanks again Randall! read more

We're involved in the sale of our home and I needed information about lead testing on our well and possible whole house RO systems. I called Randal for information on how to address our concerns. This call was late Saturday afternoon. He explained the testing process and how to properly test for lead in our system, he even reviewed pictures of our filter system to provide the best advice. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. read more

Randal was very responsive, definitely knew his stuff, and explained everything to us. I'd highly recommend him!

Fantastic, reliable, well priced service. Easy to book, great skilled plumbers, tidy and conscientious work

I recently purchased a home and the home inspector recommended addressing a concerning looking main supply line. I reached out to Randal for a replacement quote with a picture, and at 10pm at night, he promptly provided me a detailed description of the piping, and explained that he had in fact been the one to conduct the work on this piping years in the past (I assume he remembered the job simply from the picture??). The supply line is not a concern, and the fitting in question was actually a runoff drain line that was not under pressure. Randal, then explained that as the new owner, the 10 year parts and labor warranty transfers to me. Thanks for the honest and detailed response at no charge! read more

Quick response and professional follow through. Courteous and clean. Let me know where they were at every step of the process.

I phoned at 9:00 am about a water heater malfunction and the plumbing technician was at my house within the hour!! Considering that I live about 20 miles out of town, I was quite impressed. He replaced both thermostats and I had hot water again well before noon. While other companies might try to sell new systems or use scare tactics to make you spend more, these guys did an honest job for a fair price. The crawl space was left in the same shape state of neatness in which he found it. I couldn't be happier. read more

Randal arrived promptly and methodically worked to a solution for my plumbing problem. Would recommend his services for any plumbing problem. read more

I am an out of town owner of a property in Charlottesville. We needed a new water heater. I called several plumbing companies and none of them would give me an over the phone ballpark cost estimate. This meant I would have to make two 4 hour round trips....one for an estimate and one to get the work done. Then I read some great reviews about Jefferson Plumbing. I called Randal and he had no issue with providing an estimate over the phone. First check in the plus column. We agreed to meet at the property at 10 a.m......he and his partner Brittany arrived before I did...what plumber does that?!? Second check in the plus column. They quickly assessed what needed to be done and got right to work. They worked quietly and the install went extremely smoothly and not one speck of debris remained after they were finished. Two more checks in the plus column. Pricing was fair and Randal was very transparent with me when I asked how he arrived at the price for the job. Number five check in the plus column. Randal seems to take great pride in his work and his company, deservedly so. His is the only plumber card I will keep on my refrigerator. Thank you, Randal and Brittany, for a job well done! read more

We had just closed on our new home and walked in for the first time with the ceiling leaking. I called Randal and he came out the same day, explained to me exactly what he was doing and fixed the issues with upstairs toilet causing the leak. He was very professional and did a great job! We will definitely use him again in the future! Highly recommend! read more

Very responsive, efficient and timely. Fixed a shower and sink faucet that wouldn't turn on. Highly recommend.

Our hot water tank was old and we knew it was a matter of time before it started leaking. We reached out to Randall to see about getting a new one installed. Randall got back to us right away. We really appreciate his prompt response and great communication skills. Our tank is in and running well. Randal cares and it shows. We are impressed! I have already recommended Randal to a friend. read more

Just had Randal out again for an outdoor faucet that burst during the winter but was discovered when my wife went to water the flower boxes. We called Randal he showed up that afternoon and as usual, took the time to explain what happened to the old one, why it failed, how he fixed it. And was in and out fast. The work remains great, and the bill was more than reasonable. Keep up the great work Randal. read more

Wonderful plumbers who think clearly and do great work. They were part of a big project to revamp the water system at my mom's house (pumps, trenchers, filtration) and worked tirelessly until the job was done and done right. I've had the (un)fortunate need to have them come fix some other small problems in our own system and the've been terrific. read more

Fast response, great service and great pricing. I would highly recommend for your plumbing needs.

Had a problem with a leaky water heater. We spoke on the phone, and per his request, I sent detailed photos of the problem so the correct parts could be brought. He showed up, evaluated the problem, and turned out what I sent pictures of wasn't the problem. Rescheduled for next day. Repaired what we thought was the problem, but said if the repair didn't fix the issue, to call him back and he would apply the cost of the first repair to the replacement of the water heater. As it turned out, what he repaired didn't fix the problem so I called and left a message. No response. I called again and left a message. My call was returned, and I explained the repair didn't take, and I now wanted to replace the water heater. He apologized for not getting back to me sooner, and said of course he'd take care of replacing the heater - the very next day!! He recommended a water heater which was exactly what was I looking for, and showed up the next day as promised and replaced the water heater. Customer service is all too rare these days, but Randal did what he said he would do, and stood behind his work and his word. Highly recommended! read more

Randal and his team came in to re plumb our entire house to remove the Quest pipes. He also installed a new hybrid water heater for us. I felt Randal charged us a fair price, performed the work quickly, and left the place as clean as he found it. He was easy to get ahold of and answered questions thoroughly. Our water has been back up and running for a week and we have had no problems. He will hopefully only ever be a phone call away if we need anything. I recommend giving Jefferson Plumbing a call and having them complete your project. read more

Drove out --a long way-- to help locate a pipe leak during the cold snap. Prompt, knowlegeable, courteous, affordable. Great service overall. Will use them again!! -Thank you read more

We had (what turned out to be) a massive leak in our outside water pipe and Randall was able to come out the same day we called (where other companies in town gave us a 2 week waiting period). He and his very professional team were able to quickly find the leak and fix the problem. They also worked smartly and diligently, so our family would not have to go without water over night (and avoid unnecessary hotel costs). I was impressed with the level of integrity he had in his leadership with his young staff (whom I felt very safe in having in my home) as well as his integrity in his billing. He originally quoted us a price for the project and the final work was slightly different than what was originally discussed. He immediately altered our final bill which fairly reflected the work done. There was a sense that he had pride in his work and was not trying to "get" money from us- but wanted to work with us to find the best solution to our problem. It was also clear that he had years of knowledge and training. I would highly recommend Randall and his team and will call him whenever we need a plumber again. read more

We are so thankful we found Randal at Jefferson Plumbing! He has been out multiple times this year to help us correct mistakes that have caused a lot of damage from an unexperienced plumber. He is available on weekends and even answers questions I have over the phone and text without charging extra. He is a real lifesaver!! read more

We had our water main break and needed emergency replacement as we were hemorrhaging water. Not only did Randall respond right away to my call, but he arranged to come out and give us an estimate within 2 hours of my call. Unlike the other companies who weren't available for a week or more, Randall realized the urgency of the situation and began the job the next day. He, Eric and crew worked all day Friday and Saturday to finish the job. They cleaned up, reseeded and returned our yard to its pre-dig condition so well that it's hard to tell that anything was done! Highly recommend them! read more

A freezing weekend while we were out of town left us with 2 leaking pipes and no water. After calling another company and getting stood up. We called Jefferson plumbing. He came out that same day and gave us an estimate. Very reasonable pricing and he scheduled a time to come out and do the work. He showed up when scheduled and finished faster than expected. He was a great guy and did amazing work. Thank you for helping us! Will definitely be recommending him in the future and if needed again will definitely use him again. 5 stars! read more

My water heater was leaking, Randle not only diagnosed the issue but explained everything in detail, everything he was doing and why, how the water heater works etc. Randle is very knowledgeable and so pleasant! Best service I have ever received. Thank you Randle, your business card is posted on my fridge for any and all future plumbing needs. read more

We needed our regular gas water heater replaced (50 gallon) we were charged $2570 (no that was not for a tank-less system).

Called Randal with an emergency Sunday afternoon. Our exterior faucet had broke and wouldn't stop leaking water. He called back in 5 minutes and was here within the hour. I have no pricing comparison, but he was very detailed and took time to explain everything he was doing and why he was doing it. He was upfront with pricing and when I mentioned other small things around the house, like occasional toilet drips and sink clogs, he explained to us how to fix them and we succeeded on the spot. What speaks the most to his service is that after he left he sent me a product he had found on Amazon, which would save me a trip to a hardware store. That's good customer service there. All in all, a reliable, honest plumber that I saved in my phone for any future needs! read more

Randal did a great job replacing the PRV in our house. Quick to arrive and buy parts and do the job. He cleaned up and wrote a detailed invoice and charged just what he quoted. Good value. read more

Had some issues with our water softening system that we were unable to resolve. Randall dropped by, made the necessary adjustments, and also provided an informative 15 minute tutorial on how the entire system worked. And "since it didn't require any materials and I was already in the area on another job", he charged us $0 for his work. I know who we're going to call the next time we need a plumber. read more

We recently moved to the area and found Randall of Jefferson Plumbing after reading his reviews. I concur with everyone else and would add that I was most impressed by his responsiveness to resolve our plumbing issues and ability to articulate the diagnosis in a clear and pleasant way. I'm so happy we found a reliable plumber for the future. read more

I have never had a more pleasant experience. I called Jefferson Plumbing this morning, got a call back from Randall within a few hours. He asked me to send him photos of what needed repair and gave me an approximate estimate from the pictures. He gave me an approximate time that he would be here and then texted me to let me know he would be a little late. He was able to fix my issue in about an hour and stayed within the estimate he gave me, highly recommend him to anyone looking for a plumber. read more

I called them up earlier and Randall was super helpful, and even suggested I try something quick and simple myself before spending money to bring someone out to my apartment, and it turns out he was right - it was a something problem that I'll be able to take care of myself. Thanks! read more
